Objective The strategic objective is to strengthen EU leadership in production technologies in the global marketplace by developing innovative self-learning solutions to enable tight integration of control & maintenance of production systems. The project will develop highly reliable and secure service-based self-learning solutions aiming at that integration. The Methodology addressing organisational aspects of such a radical change in production systems, within extended enterprise concept, applying lean principles will be elaborated. Approaches based on SOA principles, using distributed networked embedded services in device space, are the most appropriate for implementation of such self-learning solutions. The main obstacles to fully utilize the opportunities offered by service-based self-learning systems are problems related to reliability, availability, interoperability and security & trust of diverse SW services. Context awareness, providing information about the processes & equipment and circumstances under which the services operate and allowing them to react accordingly, is a promising holistic approach to assure needed self-learning adaptation to changes in processes and equipment states and, on the other hand, Quality of Services needed for such self-learning production systems. The project will develop context models and self-learning context extractor, self-learning adapter for control, maintenance and parameter identification, as well as SOA based infrastructure including security & trust framework and an agent based middleware introduced in the service structure. The project will be driven by three industrial application scenarios from 3 industrial partners, where self-learning components and SOA infrastructure for integrated control and maintenance will be applied for machine tools, FMS and assembly lines in discrete manufacturing. The proposed approach will lead to maintenance costs reduction of 12%, and to an increase by 10% of Overall Equipment Effectiveness Programme(s) FP7-NMP - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies Topic(s) NMP-2008-3.2-2 - Self-learning production systems Call for proposal FP7-NMP-2008-SMALL-2 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator INSTITUT FÜR ANGEWANDTE SYSTEMTECHNIK BREMEN GMBH Address Wiener strasse 1 28359 Bremen Germany See on map Region Bremen Bremen Bremen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Daniel Obreiter (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 441 275,00 Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all BOSCH REXROTH AG Germany EU contribution € 264 011,00 Address Zum eisengiesser 1 97816 Lohr See on map Region Bayern Unterfranken Main-Spessart Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Ralf Bonefeld (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window The Open Group Limited United Kingdom EU contribution € 295 641,00 Address Forbury road apex plaza RG1 1AX Reading See on map Region South East (England) Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Berkshire Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Scott Hansen (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window UNINOVA-INSTITUTO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO DE NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS-ASSOCIACAO Portugal EU contribution € 326 400,00 Address Campus da caparica quinta da torre 2829-516 Caparica See on map Region Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Jose Barato (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window DESMA SCHUHMASCHINEN GMBH Germany EU contribution € 222 880,00 Address Desmastrasse 3-5 28832 Achim See on map Region Niedersachsen Lüneburg Verden Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact André Förster (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window TTY-SAATIO Finland EU contribution € 304 461,00 Address Korkeakoulunkatu 10 33720 Tampere See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Jose Luis Martinez Lastra (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Fastems Oy Ab Finland EU contribution € 255 332,00 Address Tuotekatu 4 33840 Tampere See on map Region Manner-Suomi Länsi-Suomi Pirkanmaa Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Jani Granholm (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window
